I'm no one official, but there is a section about invite codes in the weekly
update post. ( http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/2421.html , then scroll down to
#3.) It doesn't say anything about paid users getting invite codes to give
away. From the sound of things, they're looking to raise startup capital. Which
only makes sense. So a certain number of freebies will go out, and the rest
will have to be paid.
However...
1. Paid accounts start at $3. That'll get you one month of paid time. Enough to
give it a good looking-over without breaking the bank.
2. Invite codes will be randomly given out to people on these mailing lists. I
don't know how many, but it's one way to get one.
3. Invite codes will be also be randomly given out to some of the people who
use the site this month via OpenID.
The idea of (essentially) buying invite codes (or getting them as paid account
incentives) to give out sounds interesting to me, but, again, I'm no one
official.
So... that's my understanding of things. Until someone who actually is official
gets the time to send you a real answer.

Subject: [DW Discuss] Invite codes
Hello, everyone!
I've been lurking here for some time already, reading the previous months'
messages and site FAQs, and I've got a little question by now.
When the site launches on April 30, account creation will be available either
with an invite code or via buying a paid account. If I understand the earlier
information correctly, invite codes are going to be issued to existing beta
testers. The question is: will some small amount (say, one for each month of
paid time) of invite codes be available to paid users upon buying an account?
I would like to create an account on DW and invite a couple of friends.
Purchasing an account seems like the simplest solution. But then, I cannot
suggest that my friends do the same if I'm actually inviting them. So, it would
be neat if buying a paid account meant getting some invite codes. Would that be
possible at all, or would doing such thing mean losing control over initial
userbase growth?
Sorry if this question had been answered earlier and I just failed to find that
answer.
Thank you in advance.
-- Ja!
